Reading the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the question 31 to 40:

Some animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember part events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing

Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun’s position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent father from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their

food No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could

have inferred the location of the new site

Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as

rudimentary tools One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how

to use tools to open hard nuts In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three

chips Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the

higher total, showing some sort of summing ability Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums

A correspond to levels of activity B vary among individuals within a species

C be related to food consumption D be an indicator of cognitive ability

Why did you decide to read, and will you keep reading to the end? Do you expect to understand

Common sense (<54>) that the answers to these questions depend on “readability”- whether the (<55>) matter is interesting, and the argument clear and the (<56>) attractive But psychologists are trying to (<57>) why people read – and often

don’t read certain things, for example technical information They also have examined so much the writing

as the readers

Even the most technically confident people often (<58>) instructions for the video or

home computer in favor of hands- on experience And people frequently take little notice of consumer information, whether on nutritional labels or in the small print of contracts Psychologists researching

reading (<59>) to assume that both beginners and competent readers read everything put in front of them from start to finish There are (<60>) among them about the role of eyes,

memory and brain during the process Some people believe that fluent readers take in very letter or word

they see; other (<61>) that reader rely on memory or context to carry them from one phrase

to another But they have always assumed that the reading process is the same: reading starts,

comprehension (<62>) , then reading stops.

Reading the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 71 to 80:

Animation traditionally is done by hand-drawing or painting successive frame of an object, each slightly different than the proceeding frame In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to draw the different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer will produce the drawings between the first and the last drawing This is generally referred to as computer-assisted animation, because the computer is more of a helper than an originator

In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequences of pictures These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that defines the objects in the pictures

as they exist in mathematical space The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity

information Highly trained professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high degrees of realism involves computer techniques fro three-dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures

High-tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special

color terminals or frame buffers The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing

a single frame It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen

A camera can be used to film directly from the computer’s display screen, but for the highest quality images possible, expensive film recorders are used The computer computers the positions and colors for

the figures in the picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on film Sometimes, however, the images are stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder Once this

process is completed, it is replaced for the next frame When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the film must be developed before the animation can be viewed If the entire sequence does not seem right, the motions must be corrected, recomputed, redisplayed, and rerecorded This approach can be very expensive and time- consuming Often, computer-animation companies first do motion tests with simple

computer-generated line drawings before selling their computers to the task of calculating the

high-resolution, realistic-looking images

Question 71: What aspect of computer animation does the passage mainly discuss?

Question 72: According to the passage, in computer-assisted animation the role of the computer is to

draw the _

A entire sequences of frames B first frame

Question 73: The word “they” in the second paragraph refers to _.

Question 74: According to the passage, the frame buffers mentioned in the third paragraph are used to

_

C expose several frames at the same time D store individual images

Question 75: According to the passage, the positions and colors of the figures in high-tech animation are

determined by _

A analyzing the sequence from different angles B drawing several versions

C enlarging one frame at a lime D using computer calculations

Question 76: The word “captures” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to _.

Question 77: The word “Once” in the fourth paragraph is closest in meaning to _.

Question 78: According to the passage, how do computer-animation companies often test motion?

A They hand-draw successive frames.

B They calculate high-resolutions images.

C They develop extensive mathematical formulas.

D They experiment with computer-generated line drawings.

Question 80: Which of the following statement is supported by the passage?

A In the future, traditional artists will no longer be needed.

B Artists are unable to produce drawings as high in quality as computer drawings.

C Computers have reduced the costs of animation.
